Silver from the Malay World features rarely seen collections acquired by three prominent colonial administrators, R.J. Wilkinson, R.O. Winstedt and Cecil Wray, who were stationed in British Malaya at the turn of the 20th century. The display also shows the V&A's first ever acquisition of Malay metalwork: electrotype copies of the Perak royal regalia commissioned by the Museum in 1887.

The running time for this display has changed. This display closes on 29 October 2014.

Displays complement our permanent collections; there are many free temporary displays around the V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room.
